From Southern Oregon, this new vintage of the winery's Pinot Blanc has been given the all-star treatment—100% barrel fermented sur lie. It's hot, big, sharp and bold, but perhaps stretched a bit too far for the delicate, elegant flavors of the Pinot Blanc grape. The fruit carries no weight and the barrels therefore take over, with bitter phenolics and too much oak.
